RPGfan: Nearly twenty years after its initial release on PlayStation, I beat Final Fantasy VII for the first time.
I was given a copy by a colleague about 5 years ago, but hadn't had the time or motivation to actually play it until this year. I think most of you would agree with me if I said it was one of the greats, one of those "must-play" titles if you want to be a true RPG connoisseur. It's consistently voted as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, RPG of all time in amateur polls and professional features, and whether it's given special treatment through rose-tinted glasses or not, it's clear that FF VII has had a significant and lasting legacy.
Even in 2015, I can see why this is the case; VII has a remarkable cast of likeable characters and tells an exciting story filled with evil villains and troubled heroes. Not to mention the excellent gameplay, of course. Still, what is it about Final Fantasy VII that makes it so memorable, so loved in the community? Plenty of other games have equally stellar casts, the combat was improved by the releases of IX and X, and obviously game graphics have improved by nearly unimaginable amounts, yet Final Fantasy VII remains a fan favourite. Why?
I think it's simple: charm.
Many games have come and gone as gaming began its illustrious history in this world. So let's talk about the top 100 video games of all time!
Yeah. That’s the first I’ve seen it anywhere near #1.
Mario 64 is great but I wouldn’t put it over Mario World.
Sorry lol. I wrote the article but 5 of us voted for many different games and majority went on the list then we worked on the list. If it were just my personal top favorite we'd seen some xenoblade and star ocean as well as some others. Thanks for checking out it!
CGMagazine narrowed down some of the best reviews of the year to name our top 10 games, and ultimately CGMs Game of the Year 2024!
Nearly 27 years after the original game's release, Final Fantasy 7 superfan Jamie Colliver has finished his magnum opus: A shot-for-shot remake of the original PlayStation 1 game, created entirely via LittleBigPlanet 2. Colliver's remake reimagines the original game as a platformer, with every scene, every location, every line of dialogue, and every song from the game's OST painstakingly implemented .
He should have done it in Dreams though, the limitations of having done it in LBP are obvious.
ah Dreams had so much potential, I think they should have released it on PC. one can only dream about dreams sale and popularity on PC. PC has modding/creative crowd and I think it would have been a hit
Great game. Not the best RPG but certainly top 20 material. There's a huge list of competitors when you sit down and think about it. A few do stories that are just mind blowing.
This is the best game for me. I know, I know, nostalgia, rose tinted glasses, whatever... Nevertheless, I'm still waiting for a hero as sarcastic as Cloud (I love his tirades with Barret); a heroine as selfless as Aerith; a girl (also a heroine!) as tough and sensitive as Tifa; a cat as annoyingly awesome as Cait Sith (yes, he grew on me); a lion-thingy as smart and polite as Red XIII; a angry pilot as charismatic as Cid; a loner as observant as Vincent; a ninja-girl as proud and sincere as Yuffie and a terrorist as kind hearted, noble and fatherly as Barret.
Best cast ever.
:')
I love you guys. Thanks for the amazing memories.
